Incorrect Naming / Categorisation. EM tables asking for Roms ?!?!?

[Acidmank]

Hi All, I have a question about table Naming and Categorisation.
While configuring a dedicated EM build ive come across tables asking from roms
The most recent being Sinbad (Gottlieb 1978) 30-4-2925   It is marked as no rom but fire up the table and it asked for roms???
Ive hit this problem several times and wondering how this can be fixed -  because of this the "no Rom" filer on the spreadsheet is unreliable at best.

Perhaps they just made a mistake?

Just remember that these are people volunteering their own spare time to help the community find everything easier.

Mistakes will happen.

Gottlieb released a Solid State and EM version of this table in same year.

Charlies Angels and Joker Poker also have SS and EM versions.

I don't think anyone has made an EM version of this table for Visual Pinball.

There are 3 table versions showing on spreadsheet, and they are all Solid State.

I think HauntFreaks made an EM version backglass that works with the rom.

Find HauntFreaks EM Backglass that works with rom here...

Absolutely mistakes happen and I'm not pointing the finger at anyone.   
This is not a complaint, its an observation and perhaps this could lead to a more accurate database in the long term?

Needless to say 'm incredibly thankful of all the hard work so many people have put into this.
